Hi there, Remote Work Tribe, and welcome to the first Weekly Roundup of May! If you’re new here, the Weekly Roundup is a collection of the latest remote work threads, relatable Tweets, and helpful resources. Last month, we detailed our journey growing a community. This week, we want to shine a spotlight on other rising communities across the remote space.
We were inspired by this Tweet by David Spinks, Vice President of Community at Bevy, an enterprise software designed for virtual conferences and community events. After all, who best to spearhead a thread of communities other than the Vice President of Community for a platform used to grow and scale global rising communities?
We’ve gathered just a fraction of the many responses David received on his original Tweet. Let’s take a look at some of the rising communities to take note of in the remote space.
